to:

* PungeonMaster: Will usually sneak in a quip during his briefings.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Zorak saw Earth through Floyd's visor, meaning he's indirectly responsible for Zorak's schemes to invade the real world.




* CampStraight: Downplayed in that his orientation isn't explicit, but he sure is camp.
* TheDandy: He's younger than the title "king" might make it seem, and is very flamboyant.
* DeadpanSnarker: Shows some surprising lip from time to time.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: King Bing can be relied upon to make himself scarce at the first sign of trouble.



* DisproportionateRetribution: Heinous cruelty is practically his hobby. When Astrella escapes his clutches in the finale, he tells the other resistance members that [[CruelAndUnusualDeath he will cook and feed her to them.]]



* ImAHumanitarian: Threatens to eat characters or feed them to each other multiple times.
* JerkAss: Zorak has no qualms about mistreating everyone and everything around him.

to:

* YouHaveFailedMe: If you mess up, he will send you to hard labor, torture you, or worse. Not even Zeist or Dr. Fubbles are exempt from his threats.

to:

* DeadlyGas: Implied. One of the Gigazoid's defining features is it's arsenal of various gasses, and one of the buttons on its chassis features a skull and crossbones. It goes unpressed.
* EyeBeams: The Gigazoid has a pair of these that shoot from its visor. It's strong enough to dissolve robotic Xyloids into nothing, but the podium Zorak stands behind when it goes haywire is apparently impervious.
* LaughingGas: One of the Gigazoid's weapons, capable of bringing even [[TheStoic Zeist]] to the edge of tears in hysterics.

The rightful heir to Cyberland, ousted by Zorak. He now leads the underground resistance movement in their fight against the Xyloids.



* HighHeelFaceTurn: Offscreen. It's revealed that before the events of the story, Zorak taught her magical secrets. The extent and nature of their relationship before she allied with the resistance is otherwise nebulous.
